NUMBER 301.

The Ra.ilc-oa.cl Crisis The argument for government ownership of railroads in the United States has usually been based upon the view that these highways of commerce are of public necessity and should be placed under public control to insure to the citizen an equality of advantage In their use. The principal argument against such governmental ownership has been the superior practical efficiency of private direction and management. But unless conditions notoriously prevalent just now should soon be changed for the better, the public-ownership advocates will become confident and aggressive along a wholly new line of advance, where they have heretofore been on the defensive. They will point to the complete breaking down of efficiency in the actual business of transportation in this country, and will begin to claim that the government could not possibly do things so

badly and would in all probability manage the roads with a far higher degree of business efficiency. Furthermore, they will point to the inability of the great railroad managers to obtain the money they need to make absolutely necessary improvements, whereas the government of the United States could obtain almost unlimited capital at half the rate of interest the railroads would be obliged to pay. It does not follow that these new arguments will be conclusive. There is no evidence as yet to show that the people of the United States, justly exasperated with the railroad managers as they have become, are by any means prepared to throw the burden of railroad ownership and administration upon the United States government. On the other hand, they will heartily support the government In its present policy of investigating abuses and trying to compel those responsible for present conditions to apply practical remedies. The demoralized condition of the railroad service of the country is chiefly responsible for the great number of railroad accidents, the worst of which are so appalling that they cannot be kept out of the newspapers, while the lesser ones of daily occurrence escape public notice. It has been asserted by high railroad authority that it has become habitual to disregard the cardinal principle of the block system which many roads have Installed for purposes of safety, and to this fact must be attributed some of the recent disasters. But the root of the trouble goes much deeper than the recklessness of engineers or the mistakes of signalmen. It lies in the bad management that overworks the train crews, dispatchers, and men on duty in signal towers; that makes regularity in train-running the extreme exception; and that has brought American railroading into the position of being the most slovenly of all our great business organizations, whereas It ought to be the most precise, methodical, and alert. All sorts of business undertakings nowadays have a tendency to become elaborate, specialized, and highly organized. There was a time when railroad men could carry an air of mystery and treat the public with a certain condescension, as meaning well but not capable of understanding so difficult and so technical a business as operating railroads. But that period is past and gone forever. The veil of mystery has been ruthlessly torn away, and the gentlemen of the railroad world are now in a position where they must put in a decade of hard work in trying to "make good." Meanwhile, there cannot be too many public investigations, and there is no danger of any harm to the traveling public or the shipping public from the doctrine that railroads exist principally -for the convenience and the service of the people, and that the people are ""titled to have a good railroad system safely and well operated.

fPubllshers Press. Washington, Jan. 29. By unanimous vote of the house committees on pensions and invalid pensions acting as one committee, the McCuraber service pension bill was favorably reported to the house. The bill provides that all veterans of the Mexican war or the war of 1S61 who are 62 years old may have a pension of $12 per month and veterans 70 years old are to have $13 per month, and all veterans over 73 years old $20 per month. Representative Livingston of Georgio appeared before the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce and urged favorable action on his resolution providing for an investigation by the department of commerce and labor of fluctuations in the

cotton market, with the particular object of ascertaining whether such

fluctuations resulted from the charac

ter of contracts of alleged sales and deliveries made on the New York cotton exchange. Active dealing in futures was denounced by Mr. Livingston, who said cotton growers and cotton spinners of the United States are absolutely at the mercy of cotton speculators. He mentioned the . 30 classifications of cotton which formerly existed and called attention to the fact that 11 of these classes were dropped recently. Mr. Livingston

spoke of his attempt to have cotton manipulators barred from the mails as frauds and said he was threatened with a libel suit because of his action.

He said he advised representatives of cotton operators that he was willing to furnish $500 to assist in prosecuting a suit against himself and has heard no more of the threat. Representative Littaur of New York reported to the house the item attached by the senate to the urgent deficiency bill, loaning $1,000,000 to the Jamestown exposition and asked that the house consider the senate amendment as In committee of the whole, this being the most expeditious way in which to reach the issue. Considerable opposition developed Rather than precipitate a debate Mr. Littauer withdrew the bill with the senate amendment and the bill will take its regular course through the appropriations committee for consideration and report. Under the leadership of Mr. Candler of Mississippi the house, in com mittee of the whole, voted to continue the free distribution of garden and flower seeds on old lines. In the senate the oath of ofSce was administered to Senator Curtis of Kansas. The senate passed a bill to establish an immigration station in Mew Orleans. Senator Hale took the senate to task because of the disposition to talk

instead of pass appropriation bills. He said there were but two business days left in this month, 23 days in February and two in March, 27 in all, and as yet no single appropriation bill has become law. "In this remaining time," he said, "there is to be appropriated some $500,000,000 of the revenues of the government. There has never in my experience been a condition when these necessary bills were so far behind as now." The only alternative, Mr. Hale said, is to hold night sessions, and these he will move for if the necessary business is further delayed. Continuing his speech in behalf of his child-labor bill, Senator Beveridze presented a number of affidavits setting forth conditions in southern cotton mills and asserted that many children under 12 years old are working In these mills. In reviewing the many indorsements given his bill, he said hearty commendation of the measure was made by the "man who will be the next standard bearer of the Demo

cratic party" and also by the present president of .the United States. "I want to know about the endorsement of the next standard bearer of the Republican party," suggested Mr. Carmack. "My dear," began ilr. Beveridge, and then as the remark caused laughter, "I was going to say, my dear boy, there are mai things you want to know which I am not going to tell you." The senate committee on finance heard the United States treasurer, Charles H. Treat, in favor of the house bill to provide for issuance of geld

certificates In denominations of $3 and

$10. The law now does not permit the issuance "of gold certificates less than $20. It Is proposed to diminish

the number of certificates of the high denominations and to recall a portion

of the silver certificates of the denominations of $5 and $10 and in the place

cf the latter increase the number of $1

and $2 bills. The house measure is

not wholly acceptable to the treasury department and it is In regard to the technical changes in the operation of the law, that Mr. Treat was heard.

NOW UP TO GOVERNMENT

IT NOW REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF IT WILL ACCEPT A SETTLEMENT BASED ON RECOGNITION OF ROMAN HIERARCHY.

IFublishers Piess. raris, proposition which the French bishops, with the approval of the pope, submitted to the government seems to offer the first real prospect of an adjustment of the conflict between church anu state under the separation law. While it involves a material modification of the position taken in the last papal encyclical, the proposition put forward has all the appearance of an ultimatum. Whether the government will accept a settlement based on absolute recog

nition of the Roman hierarchy remains to be seen. Tba model contract the bishops submitted provides for the virtual lease of the churches in perpetuity to the parish priests, the leases being for IS years and renewable by their successors. The leases, which carry a stipulation en-as;ing the com munal, mun'cipal and state authorities not to Interfere with the adminls,'. tion of the church and parish, are lavalid without the express ratifica 'on of the bishop and become null the n.o ment the parish priest loses ihe bishop's authorization.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is not Bdvertised as a "Cure All" but admirably fulfills a singlrtiw-is of purpose, being a superior and most positive remedy for one lass of diseases only those easily recognized weaknesses, derangements," Irregularities and painful disorders peculiar to women. It is a powerful, vet gently acting, invigorating, tonic and strengthening nervine. For weak, worn-out. over-worked women no matter what has- rained the break -down, whether it be from too frequent tearing of children or from much worry, care, or over exertion of any kind, "Favorite Prescription" will be found most efficient in building up the strength, regulating all the womanly functions, banishing pain and bringing about a regular and healthy, vigorous condition of the whole female system. Thus It corrects prolapsus, or falling of womb, retroversion, anteversion and other displacements of the female pelvic orarans, duo to weakness or over exertion, lifting or fatiguing over-work. In short, it makes weak women strong and sick women wolL As to Dr. Pierce's flolden Medical Discovery It has a very large range of application, yet it is by no means recommended as a "Cure-All." It possesses marvelous alterative, or blood cleansing, properties and is at the same time a most invigorating tonic, or strength giver. It exert a specific, cleansing, soothing and healtng effect upon all the lining mucous membranes of the system; hence, its great curative value in all catarrhal affect'ons, or matter where located.
